    - _vti_bin missing and web parts not working correctly Hi all, I recently installed WSS on a server. Everything is working except for some of the web parts give me the old "could not retrieve properties" error and I can't edit the site in FrontPage. I went through all of the solutions that were offered on MSDN until I ran into an interesting problem when trying one of their fixes for virtual server installations. basically they say you should run: C:\Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\web server extensions\60\BIN>stsadm.exe -o enumwppacks -url myvirtualserverurl to find out what web parts are installed on a site. When running this I got the following back: There are no items matching the criteria specified. Thinking this was a bit strange I went looking around the virtual server directory on the server and found that there is no _vti_bin directory on that server. I was under the impression that there should be one. Anyway, I am really stuck now about what to do about this situation. I have a hell of a lot of content on the site now and don't want to loose it but would really like to fix the web parts that are not working. Thanks all for your help.

    - Can't Edit Document I have a user that is trying to open a document by using the "Edit in Microsoft Office Word." However, SharePoint would hang when she does this. It happens to all documents. She does have Office 2003 installed and is in the correct group, as a Cotributor, Reader. I don't think it's a permission issue. Has anyone seen this problem before?

    - Sharing private calendar information Hi, I'm new to SharePoint, and I have a scenario that I'm wondering whether SharePoint can help us with. We have a team of 4-5 people working on support of a service. At least one of these people need to be on call at any given time. At the moment they communicate with eachother "manually", dividing time on call by email or phone. We'd like to publish these users' Outlook calendars to one shared calendar, enable all users to view eachothers' availability and reserve time slots for when they're on call. Two of these users are not members of the same domain/Exchange organization. Does SharePoint support this out-of-the-box? If not, are there any web parts available (commercial or freeware) with this functionality? Ideally we would like two-way sync between Outlook and the shared calendar. Thanks, Jørn Tag: document library Tag: 15208

    - User-changed passwords? Hi, I'm currently setting up Sharepoint site on a shared hosted server (hosted by our network service provider). I am using Sharepoint to create an intranet for 8 people. I have given them permission to access the site by entering their login and the generic password, "ChangeMe". My question is, can the users (I have them at the web designer level) go to the Sharepoint site and change their password to something unique? How do they do this? (I need to send instructions and I can't find anything in the MS documentation). Thanks in advance for your assistance. ard Tag: document library Tag: 15207

    - sharepoint services, Lan I have installed sharepoint services on a Small Business Server 2003. I can view the companyweb website from the desktop of the server itself at http://companyweb,. However, I cannot access the website from the Lan. I have tried using the general access of 192.168.1.105/companyweb and it does not work. I can however from 192.168.1.105 I can bring up the Welcom to Windows Business Server 2003, to get started click a link. This will not bring up the companyweb site either. Does anyone have any ideas on how to make this companyweb page work in a lan situation? I have established user permissions which at this startup point are all administrator priviledges and have added the network computers to the server. Thank you in advance for your help..

    - sql statement for a DataView Hi, everybody! Environment: Windows Server 2003, Windows Sharepoint Services, SQL Server 2000, FP2003 The question I have regards the complexity of the SQL statement the DataView webpart understands. Are there any additional requirements on this statement? Take for example quite a complex statement like the one above. I've got it by modifying the main part of the proc_FetchDocSearchResults stored procedure in one of my content databases. (I'm trying to build a search engine for the portal and I thought I could start the investigation the easy way :-) The server has no problem in returning the set, but FP2003 chokes ("The data source does not contain valid XML data. The server for the data source returned a non-specific error when..." ). Should the statement be XML returning (for xml or something)? By launching a trace I can see that it doesn't even reach the SQL Server. Anybody... suggestions, hints, anything? Thanks in advance.

    - SQL cluster search problems - this may help There have been occasional postings from people who have had problems with performing searches within WSS sites when their databases are running on a SQL cluster. For some people, if they have been using SPS, they have found that the searches work at the portal level but not at the site. It is important to understand that WSS searches are conducted using the fulltext indexing capability of SQL Server, whereas the portal search capability works in a very different manner. I too have had the problem outlined above and, with the assistance of Microsoft PSS, got to the bottom of the problem. I am sharing this solution with everyone in case it helps. Your mileage may vary - your symptoms may not match exactly and so the solution I'm going to give may not solve your problem. The steps we went through were: * Check that Microsoft Search service is installed. This is listed in the Services control panel applet. If it isn't listed, it hasn't been installed. It was already installed on both of my nodes. * Check the output from SELECT fulltextserviceproperty('IsFulltextInstalled'). If you get "1" back, SQL believes that the service is up and running properly. If you get "0", it isn't. In my case, it was working when I migrated the cluster service group over to node A, but it didn't work when it was on node B. For reasons I won't go into, I was using node B by default. The next steps were to try to spot the differences between the two nodes. I was asked to check the following: 1) Make sure the below registry are the same between two nodes: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Search HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\MSSEARCH 2) Make sure the DLLs are with the same version in the below folders: \Program Files\Common Files\System\MSSearch \Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\80\COM \Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\MSSQL\Binn 3) Register the below DLLs: \Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\MSSQL\Binn\SQLFTQRY.dll \WINNT\CLUSTER\GATHERCL.DLL \Program Files\Common Files\System\MSSearch\Bin\*.DLL Step (1) may reveal some differences if you've got service groups that are one node but not all of them. This was so in my case, but the majority of the registry keys were identical. Step (2) is a bit daunting because of the number of DLLs involved. It may help to remember that if you change the window display to "Details", you can then customise the columns to include the file version, thus making it easy to compare. I did find some DLL differences: C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\MSSQL\Binn sqlftqry.dll - 2000.80.760.0 (was 2000.80.194.0) ssmsgnet.dll - 2000.80.382.0 (was 2000.80.194.0) C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\80\COM cnv6x70.dll - 2000.80.760.0 (was 2000.80.194.0) sqlfth75.dll - 2000.80.760.0 (was 2000.80.194.0) I copied those over and then went through step (3). This is done with regsvr32. For some of them, I got an error - DllRegister Server entry point was not found - but PSS said this was OK. After all that, I move the service group from node B to node A (the working node) and then back again. I then used the SQL query and confirmed that it was returning "1" to indicate that fulltext was working. Finally, I went into SharePoint, turned off full text indexing and then turned it back on again. After waiting for a short while, I performed a search in a WSS site and it worked! I hope the above helps some of you. I would reiterate that your mileage may vary. If you have got Software Assurance with either your SQL Server licence or your SharePoint Portal Server licence, you may be able to take advantage of online support through the Software Assurance benefit. This is what I did and I'd like to thank PSS for their help with the above problem. --Philip Tag: document library Tag: 15170

    - Frontpage 2002 Sharepoint Template Hi I would like to use the Frontpage 2002 Sharepoint template to develop our intranet site. Our server is Microsoft Server 2003 I realise I need to get Windows Sharepoint Services configued on this server. 50% of our staff are located around NZ and connect via a VPN to our network. My questions: The reason I choose this template is my understanding that I get Sharepoint functionality for free (well almost) as my understanding is I do not need a licence to use this template. My understanding is that I do not need a Server 2003 External Connector License as our "external staff" will logon to our network (where the intranet will sit) via a vpn - is this correct? Also, a cooleague sent me this link http://www.microsoft.com/windowsserver2003/techinfo/sharep oint/trial.mspx My understanding is that after the trial period I would have to pay to use Sharepoint this way? Whats the difference between using the Frontpage template and using Sharepoint as provided by the link? Many thanks - the different Sharepoint options are confusing me a bit as I'm not understanding why one will cost but not the other. Many thanks Tag: document library Tag: 15153

    - Help with automatic sites creation Hi, Im working with Sps2003/Windows Server 2003. I have a structure that looks like this : http://myServer/ (sps2003) http://myServer/sites/site1 (wss) http://myServer/sites/site2 (wss) http://myServer/sites/site3 (wss) http://myServer/sites/site4 (wss) http://myServer/sites/site5 (wss) http://myServer/sites/site6 (wss) ... All the sites are exactly the same except for the content. The site Groups are the same, the users are the sames, etc. If i want to create a new site (http://myServer/sites/site10), I create the new site (from the portal) based on a template created from "site1". The problem is that the site groups and the users arent imported... So I have to add them manually every times... I'm trying to figure a way to do all this automatically. Here's my ideas : Idea 1 : Create a custom ASPX page that could be called from the portal when I want to create a new site. In that page I would have the same fields that the default Site creation page have and in the code behind I would automatically create the site and all the site groups and users. (maybe copying them from "Site1") Idea 2 : Create everything from the command prompt with STSADM. "Stsadm -o createsite", "Stsadm -o adduser", etc. But I have "Permissions" set in lists and I don't think you can modify that with STSADM. Idea 3 : Use an already created application that do all that... Idea 4 : Use Stsadm -o backup from "site1" and Stsadm -o restore to "site10". I don't think I can do that. Idea 5 : Find a way to import the site groups and users. Idea 6 : Buy a monkey to do all the work... What would be the best solution ? Thank you, Chris Tag: document library Tag: 15140

    - Content in columns in a doc lib erase I have several hundred files that are updated regularly in a document library. Each document library has several columns in the library containing content that has been manually added to the fields (that is not in the properties of the file). When a document is uploaded with the same file name it overwrites the existing, however, the content in the columns associated with that file is erased. This was not the case in the old version of WSS (STS). The content is overwritten whether I click upload document or copy and paste the new documents into explorer from my hard drive. The issue persists if the settings of the library are, to create a version each time the file is edited, or not. A work around or any advice to resolve this issue is appreciated.

    - List items disappear and reappear I converted a list to XSLT view, and now it's behaving wildly. When I mouse over an item in the list, the font size grows. When I move the mouse away from the item, it disappears from the page. If I move my mouse back to the blank space, it reappears again. Check it out at http://ulgm-portal.org/sites/tutors/default.aspx . It's the list on the right side of the page called "Training Videos." Thanks for any help, -- Edward Lee Microsoft MVP - Sharepoint Portal Server Tag: document library Tag: 15105

    - WSPS and X.509 mapped accounts I'm new to WSPS, but I can't seem to find an answer to this question. Argh. I'm got WSPS running and SSL works. But, I want to require users to present an X509 certificate to login with INSTEAD OF basic auth. SSL is working fine and I have enabled anonymous access BUT required SSL and certificates. Users still getting prompted for credentials. In looking at the logs, I see that the 401 is getting generated for /default.aspx, which doesn't exist in the root folder of the site in question (I'm guessing that's because some filter has remapped that the ASPX extension). It seems like I just need to an appropriate ACE to the DACL on something, but what is that something? Thanks! Kent Tag: document library Tag: 15101

    - workaround to access document libraries through HTTPS and webdav? Hi, there is a way to allow a user to access diocument libraries content through webdav + HTTPS in internet explorer? by default, sharepoint detect this and display an error message to the user, also, if the user try to add manually the https site in its favorites (a favorites network), Windows disallow this. Through standard HTTP all works fine, but its not secure. In an other hand, webdrive works fine with HTTPS, but this tool doesn't replace the internet explorer view, so the user cannot view the library in IE. thanks for your help. Jerome.

    - IIS 5.0 Isolation Mode & SharePoint I posted this question in the STS forum not realizing that is where I was. So sorry about this. Anyway, I upgraded a W2K server to W2K3. It functions pretty much as a web server. I tried to install WSS and it told me I had to turn off IIS 5.0 Isolation Mode. So I did an all the other sites on the server (there are 4 others) all are asking for a username and password. I turn it back to IIS 5.0 Isolation Mode and the sites are fine. Any ideas?

    - Links to subfolders? I tried to add a link on one of my sites to a subfolder on another site (sub-document library). When I test the link, it sends me to the top-most folder, not the subfolder that I intended. Is there a limitation in WSS that won't allow links to subfolders? Heidi Tag: document library Tag: 15085

    - Customization of search box I have a WSS site that I've been trying to customize the colors/theme. I've been referencing the resources at www.sharepointcustomization.com My problem is that I'm trying to change the color of the search box on the default home page by changing the ms.searachform style. this works fine, with the exception of what appears to be a small gif just to the left of the search box. The image is so small that I've been unable to try and determine how to change. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Mike Tag: document library Tag: 15084

    - programattically change List permissions When I programattically create a document library using Microsoft.Sharepoint.SPWeb, I would also like to assign permissions to that list. The SPList class doesn't seem to have any methods or properties for changing Users or Groups. SPWeb has a Groups property which returns an SPGroup object, but that seems to be related to the Web and not a specific List. What object do I use to assign permissions to a list? Thanks.

    - Recurring Events through Web Service I am in search of a simple solution for displaying recurring events from the list web service. Currently, normal event data is easily retrieved with fieldref names such as Title, Description, EventDate, and EndDate. However, recurring events seem to be trickier. I was hoping that the web service would have some query option element that automatically expands recurring events based on the recurrence definition, but that seems to be missing. Upon querying the web service for list items, I have found an fRecurrence field (-1 for recurring, 0 for normal), and a RecurrenceData field that returns something along the lines of: <recurrence><rule><firstDayOfWeek>su</firstDayOfWeek> <repeat><daily dayFrequency='1' /></repeat> <windowEnd>2004-08-27T04:40:00Z</windowEnd></rule></recurrence> Does anyone know of a solution that will give me all occurrences without requiring me to parse the RecurrenceData? It seems a little bizarre that a common request such as "give me today's events" would not made more trivial, or that you might have to pull down and evaluate every recurring event every time you wanted to make this request. The webpart does it...how can I? Thanks, Joel Joel D.

    - Changing a picture in the Picture Gallery? I am building an online inventory in a WSS site. I'm using a picture gallery to store a picture for each item in the inventory, along with about 20 custom fields which describes the item. However, there are situations when the manufacturer would have a newer version of the picture for us to use, so I would like to replace the picture associated in thie entry with a new picture, while still keeping the data of all the other fields. How can I do this? Tag: document library Tag: 15070

    - Lost our Quick Launch We had a need to create a brand new default.aspx when that file got all messed up (don't ask :) but our new test page, newdefault.aspx does NOT have a quick launch area. I understand that this is apparently a thing that comes with the default page, but when we saved our new page as default.aspx, we did NOT get the quick launch. Is there anyway to get this back or re-enable it in any way? Thanks! -- Elaine Pack, Web Analyst Charlottesville, VA IamarealpersonATpackwebs.net Tag: document library Tag: 15069

    - Setting the default times for an events list Does anyone know if it is possible to set the default time frame for new events in a wss events list? We have offices in two different time zones and when events such as vacations extend over multiple days an extra day is tacked on based on which time zone you are viewing the event in. The default for the time zones is from 12:00 AM start to 12:00 AM finish. We would like to set it to be from 7:00 AM start to 6:00 PM finish. Thanks in advance for any help! Mike A.

All the documents are stored in the database.

Itäs quite normal for you not to see the changes to a document if you look
at it a short time after having saved it. You will in that case be seeing
the version in the cache.

The document physically stored in the database has been changed however.

If you wait awhile / open a new browser copy etc. you will be able to see
it.
